GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After learning of its first-round opponent, head coach Kevin Borseth and the Green Bay coaching staff has delved into film to familiarize themselves with Louisiana State and prepare a scouting report for the Phoenix. No. 11 seeded Green Bay (29-2) will play at No. 6 seed LSU (20-11) on Sunday night at 6:30 p.m. CT at the Maravich Center in Baton Rouge, La.

With the same seeding handed out, Green Bay and LSU met in the NCAA Tournament First Round at the Maravich Center. Despite falling to the Tigers 69-59, the trip to the tournament started the program’s current run of five-straight NCAA Tournament appearances.

While the seeds, opponent and location are the same, much has changed for both programs since that meeting in 2009. Both programs are under the direction of different head coaches, with Nikki Caldwell in her second season at LSU and Kevin Borseth in his first season of a second stint with Green Bay. Only one player on the current roster will remember that first meeting, redshirt senior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) who was inactive for that meeting. None of the other players on either 2009 roster are still active today.
